Abstract
Tests for the assessment of aerobic capacity can be divided into three categories according to the exercise intensity required from the subjects:
-
1)
Maximal tests, e.g.: determination of maximal oxygen consumption (\(\dot V{O_2}\) max), maximal power or maximal exercise duration;
-
2)
Tests requiring intermediate efforts, e.g.: determination of “thresholds” beyond which lactate accumulates in the blood, measurement of heart rate-\(\dot V{O_2}\) relationship;
-
3)
Low-intensity tests leading to decreased or unchanged blood-lactate conditions.
